Going fly fishing today
The back feels pretty good (pain level has dropped from full meltdown to excruciating) and I am hitting the water for a bit this afternoon.
With any luck I might actually catch something. Will try to get pictures but will just be happy to be out there on the water.
Give 'em he?? Eric. Be safe.
They're just fish, right? Right?
If feel you on the back pain. I live on Oxy. I haven't hit full meltdown yet but, I am excrutiating 24/7. Good luck and catch some fish.
Eric,
Are you hitting a pond or tailwater, because I figured all the creeks would still be blown out down there? Good luck and catch a few for me - still haven't gotten my license! I hope you got that "indoor swimming pool" out of your basement! Or did you have the Fish Commish stock it?
Best regards, Dave.
Hi all,
I got back a little while ago. Got skunked but had a lot of fun doing it. I hit Holman Lake at Little Buffalo State Park. I an exhausted but totally relaxed. sure is something how just a few hours on the water does a soul so much good.
I talked to some spin fishers there. One of them landed a nice gill but that was all I saw caught. They were catching crappies there earlier with some little chartreuse jigs so it is time for the longer rod with some Al's Crappie Candy.
I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I got back into a good casting stroke after such a long time off. I think the bad back may actually be helping me there. It forces me to slow down, concentrate on my stroke and use less energy. Maybe it's because I just finally got to relax.
I stayed until my legs went numb from my back. As I was putting my gear back into the car I heard both Osprey and Bald Eagle calling but they were on the nests up along the ridge line. I did take a few shots I hope you all enjoy maybe you can help me identify the insect cases in the one of the rock I pulled from a small stream. There were what looked like tricos and little black stone flies hatching. Click on the pictures to see full size:
